A poem by Dinah M. Mulock Craik

Agnes At Prayer

________________________________________________
Title:     Agnes At Prayer
Author: Dinah M. Mulock Craik [More Titles by Craik]

"OUR Father which art in heaven,"
Little Agnes prays,
Though her kneeling is but show,
Though she is too young to know
All, or half she says.
God will hear her, Agnes mild,
God will love the innocent child.

"Our Father which art in heaven."
She has a father here,
Does she think of his kind eyes,
Tones that ne'er in anger rise--
"Yes, dear," or "No, dear."
They will haunt her whole life long
Like a sweet pathetic song.

"Our Father which art in heaven,"
Through thy peaceful prayer,
Think of the known father's face,
Of his bosom, happy place;
Safely sheltered there;
And so blessed--long may He bless!
Think too of the fatherless.


[The end]
